Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to manage their enterprise
data centers as they become highly complex, expensive to build out, and
difficult to reconfigure as needs change. In an effort to address these
challenges, many IT professionals are turning to virtualization technologies.
Virtualization addresses a number of these issues and offers a variety of
benefits including hardware utilization, operational efficiency, and data
center agility. However, many customers and their technology partners are
becoming increasingly frustrated with the proprietary and expensive nature of
the available virtualization software solutions. Luckily, a new wave of
virtualization-related technologies is emerging to address these challenges
and improve the economics of virtualization.
These emerging solutions are enabling a more dynamic IT infrastructure that
helps transf... (more)
Virtualization is perhaps the sexiest word in the IT industry today. The
benefits of virtualizing servers are widely recognized, and the market for
server virtualization software is growing rapidly. This growth rate has
caught the attention of many competitors from small startups to giants like
Microsoft. At the last count, there were 43 companies directly involved in
platform virtualization (Virtualization Industry Radar).
The popularity of server virtualization is easy to explain. At its most basic
level, server virtualization allows a single server to partition itself into
mu... (more)
